SHOT WHILE HUNTING.

Superintendent of Attica School Killed While Aiming at a Rabbit. Clyde L. Wagner, superintendent of the Attica schools, was killed Saturday morning by the accidental discharge of his gun while hunting rabbits near Winthrop. With three companions he was hunting the cotton tails. He had killed one and was in the act of shooting again when his foot slipped in the snow and he fell toward his gun which was discharged, the shots penetrated his right side and lacerated the vital organs. A few words were spoken, medical aid was called, but he was dead when it arrived. The body was taken to Attica. Mr. Wagner had been superintendent of the school at Attica for the past three years and was very popular. His native place was Terre Haute where he completed a course in the State Normal and afterwards received his degree from Indiana University in 1904. His wife was a Miss Butin, a member of a prominent family of Terre Haute. The widow and an infant son survive. Mr. Wagner was a brilliant young man and had a great future before him. —Fowler Leader.

PROSECUTES GAMBLERS.

Former Jasper County Man Making Things Warm In Gary. J. E. Westfall of Whiting, formerly of Remington but now deputy prosecuting attorney of Lake county, is making life a burden to Lake county gamblers according to Tuesday’s Gary Post, which says: “Nine south side saloon keepers were arrested this afternoon about two o’clock on warrants sworn out in Judge Ellwood’s court by Deputy Prosecutor Westfall on the charge of conducting gambling machines in their places of business. “The gambling charged is in the form of slot machines. The machines are all r 4rade machines, that is machines which checks or money can be played for checks on the house. Some of them can be played for amounts from five cents up to a dollar. “The prosecutor stated this afternoon that this is his first step in the move to clean up gambling in Gar} r and Lake county. He would not state what further steps he intended to take in the matter but he said the steps taken would have to speak for themselves. . “The men are getting a hearing this afternoon. Bailey, Kokotovich, Hecker and Prascsak pleaded guilty and were fined $2:? and costs.”

ENRICH MIDDLEMEN.

New York Farmers Got $8,000,000 Last Year of $60,000,000 Paid for Potatoes. Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 14.—That the farmers of the state of New York received 58.000.000 for their potatoes last year, but that by careful juggling by middlemen the same potatoes cost the consumers $60,000,000, will be one of t'he strong arguments produced before the Pennsylvania State Grange when it meets in Butler to take steps toward eliminating at least some of the middlemen now standing between the farmer and consumer. E. B. Dorsett who is slatrd for the position of master of l Ee State Grange, is authority ■f ar these figures. He said: “If there is any person in the wide world who believes tha f the farmer is responsible for the present high cost of living he ought to get the idea out of his head. The farmer is merely existing. There is no profit for him in most of his products. It is a case of laboring to break even. The farmer is held up as the man who is causing the excessive prices asked for farm products..

“I will cite one instance to illustrate the injustice done the farmer. Last year the potato yield of the state of New York was sold in New York city for $8,000,000. The potatoes eventually were sold and resold to one dealer and another. It is an outrageous case of juggling. The consumer finally paid $60,000,000 for the potatoes which the farmers had originally sold for $8,000,000.” Dorsett says the same condition is now found in Pennsylvania, yet ifot so well defined, and the grarge is booked to take some drastic action against the middlemen.

Gilkeson, 326 Ingles Ave. Youngstown, Ohio, gained wisdom by experience. “My little girl had a severe cold and coughed almost continuously. My sister recom- ! mended Foley's Honey and Tar. The first dose I gave her relieved the inflammation in her throat and af f er using one bottle her throat and lungs jrere entirely free from inflammation. Since then I always keep a bottle of Foley’s Honey and Tar in the house.” Accept no substitutes, —A. F. Long.
